Canopy's Largest Shareholder Greenstar Backs Creation of US Holding Company
Published:
Last Updated:
Canopy Growth Corp. said Tuesday that it would create a US holding company to keep its options to buy interests in various US cannabis firms.
“This strategy and positioning are true differentiators, which we expect to enable our investors and brands to realize value in the near term while positioning Canopy for profitable growth and a fast start upon US federal permissibility,” Chief Executive David Klein said.
The company also said it acquired weed firm Acreage Holdings. It’s buying 70% of the shares at a fixed 0.3048 Canopy per Acreage share. It’s also getting an option to buy the balance on a floating basis.
The new company Canopy USA Holdings will house the Acreage assets, and options to buy stakes in edibles brand Wana and cannabis producer Lemurian.
Jefferies analyst Owen Bennett said the Canopy Growth deal “could also have positive implications for multistate operators and paths to uplisting, potentially adopting similar structures.”
In the last filing, dated July 19, 2022, Greenstar reported owning 50.20% of the company, indicating no change in their holdings.
